Over the past two years ( cancelled due to fires in 2012 ), Vince Zappy , who is the man behind the publishing / promoting company which makes the Idaho Game Warden magazine happen , has seen one of his small ideas take root . After travelling up the Middle Fork of the Boise River and seeing too much trash , Vince decided to organize a Saturday clean up of the river area from Arrow rock Reservoir all the way to Atlanta . No small logistical feat , Vince had picked up sponsors who are providing everything from water for the volunteers to food for a barbecue to garbage bags . The idea started small , but I am confident that the litter pickup will do wonders for the area . To date , somewhere around 100 volunteers will give up part of their Saturday to make a positive difference .
We are all faced with the dilemma of contributing more to a problem or being part of a solution to that problem . In many cases , it is easiest to do nothing . Doing a small something can be an important part of an ongoing solution . If you don ’ t have money to give to a cause , think about volunteering your time to try to make difference . It just takes picking up one piece of litter to make a positive change . Your good example may inspire those watching you to do the same , and the impact could eventually be significant . It just has to start with you- doing the right thing .
